FOUNTAIN BLACKING-DAUBER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 423,444, dated March 18, 1890.

` Application filed November 19, 1888`I Serial No. 291,202. (No model.)

Vcitizen of the United States, residing at Columbiana, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fountain Blacking- Daubers; and I do herebydeclarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, Vsuch will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to blacking-daubers, and has for its object an improved construction of fountains for liquid blacking to be attached to the dauber in common use.

The invention will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l represent-s a perspectiveview of my invention; Fig. 2, a

' vertical longitudinal section; Fig. 3, a vertical section of the lower half of the coupling on an enlarged scale, and Fig. 4 a similar view of the fountain and the upper half of the coupling.

Reference being had to the drawings and the letters thereon, A indicates a blackingdauber; B, a fountain attachment, which is composed of two parts, a being the upper part, which is provided with a reservoir b, a screw-threaded extension c, terminating in a horizontal iiange CZ, a seat or shoulder e, and an elastic packing f,and alower part g,whicl1 is provided with a base h, a chamber i, having a bottom la, an elastic packing-washer Z, anda screw-threaded extension m, terminating in ahorizontal ilange at. A tube 0, secured to the bottom lo, projects through the wooden portion of the dauber and supplies liquid blacking thereto, and is controlled by a valve p, having an elastic seat q. The valve p is operated by means of a rod r, which is secured to the valve, bent at tto form a .fulcrum, which rests upon the under side of the handle of the dauber, is secured in position when the valve is closed by a hook or vcatch u, guided in its operation and guarded by a staple o. On the 'rear end of the'handle of the dauber is a hook or scraper w, for removing mud.

In applying my fountain to an ordinary Y dauber a hole is bored through the head between the bunches of bristles and the tube o pushed through the head until the base h becomes seated, when it is secured by nailsl or screws. The reservoir b having been illed with liquid blackin g, the two parts are screwed together, the flange CZ resting upon the elastic seat Z and the ange n upon a similar seat f, thus forming a doublejoint, and the elasticity of the seats firmly locking the screwcoupling against accidental turning and consequent leaking of the fluid. The supply of liquid blacking is controlled by detachingthe rod 1' from the hook u, drawing the rod down,

and pushing the valve up fromits seat.

The principal features of my invention are claimed in another application, filed August 2o, 188s, serial No. 283,251.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is-- l A blacking-dauber, in combination with a fountain made in two separable parts, the upper part being provided with a reservoir b, a screw-threaded extension c, terminating in a horizontal iauge bent inwardly, and an eX- ternal seat or shoulder c, and thelower part having a base h, to'which the dauber is attached, a screw-threaded extension fm, integral therewith aud terminating in a horizontal flange n, bent outwardly and constructed toy bear upon the scat e, and a valve for controlling' the flow of the blacking, substantially as described. A

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature inV presence of two witnesses.
